Peter Wright is through to the Quarter-Finals at the 2020 PDC World Championship but not without surviving a scare in the process when facing Jeffrey de Zwaan.

Wright though gave a reason why he nearly succumbed to defeat against the Dutchman and that was due to a sudden illness he admitted which nearly saw him leave the stage.
Next up is Luke Humphries and Wright has said himself that it is no surprise for him to see him get so far due to playing him previously years ago.
"I just ran out of energy, I was feeling really bad up there after the first three sets," said Wright.
"The good thing is that games under pressure like this can help lift your level to where it needs to be for the rest of the tournament.
"I was waiting for Jeffrey to start playing, I knew he would but I didn't want him to!
"Luke is another quality player, I played against him many years ago and he was scarily good then so it's no surprise to me to see how well he's progressed."
